An Excellent Speech By President Joe Biden — The Week in Editorial Cartoons, Part 2 (Update #2) [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-03-07 UPDATE #2 — 11:47 pm ET Just Released CNN Flash Poll About Tonight’s SOTU This includes respondents who watched the speech. The respondents were D — 37%, R — 30%, and I — 33%. So, the poll sample was a bit more Democratic than the electorate as a whole. Very Positive — 35% Somewhat Positive — 29% Negative — 35% This is a very good result for the Biden Campaign. Just now on CNN, Van Jones had high praise for the President. He had been down on him for weeks. Axelrod also praised him. Here’s a comment I made downthread. This Was an Excellent Speech He got his major points across. He was forceful, yet also funny at times. He portrayed himself as the defender of American values; Trump was characterized as the destroyer of all things good about the country. He was at times critical of the Republicans without demeaning anyone. Most of all, he came across as sincere, empathetic, and on the side of average, ordinary Americans. Well done, Mr. President!

In an email I received today from the Nation, the magazine’s brilliant political commentator and legal analyst Elie Mystal explains this week’s decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in easy-to-understand terms. Mystal says that the latest power grab by SCOTUS is profoundly anti-democratic. Elie Mystal x pic.twitter.com/srvbCGE94h — Monte Wolverton (@montewolverton) March 5, 2024 The Supreme Court has proven, once again, that law, logic, and their own alleged principles mean nothing in their quest to ensure the electoral success of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. As I wrote for The Nation, the court decided to ignore the 14th Amendment in order to give Trump a chance to run again, and has helped Trump delay his criminal trial until after the election, in order to give him a chance to win again... The nine Supreme Court justices are the nepo-babies of American democracy: They’ve earned nothing, yet act like they own the entire world. Every other institution in this country treats the Supreme Court with unfailing respect and total acquiescence to its power. Why? What have these people done to deserve the authority to wield power without question? The Choice in 2024 is Simple x It's Super (?) Tuesday, and my new cartoon for today's Boston Globe illustrates just who ... and what ... some people are voting for.

The Constitution Turned Upside Down x Bill Day @BillDaytoons pic.twitter.com/6vKb31OBOs — Editorial & Political Cartoons (@EandPCartoons) March 7, 2024 In one of the Supreme Court’s most sweeping rulings in modern times, a five-man majority has effectively nullified a critical provision of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The “oathbreaking insurrectionist” Donald Trump—a designation unchallenged by either the Supreme Court majority, the Colorado courts, or even his attorneys—will never be disqualified from the presidency. Nor will any other insurrectionist whose partisans control a majority in Congress... The lead of any story about the decision in Trump v. Anderson should be that the Court has unanimously ruled that an insurrectionist who attempted to overthrow a presidential election will remain on the presidential ballot.
